as vice president biden announced last night, after an hour and a half meeting we had in his office here just a few feet from where i speak, he announced the democrats and republicans have agreed upon a number on which to base our budget cuts. that number is $73 billion below the president's budget proposal. now we have to figure out how to get to that 73 number. as i have said all along, this isn't just about dollars and deficits, mr. president. it's about principles and priorities. what we cut is much more important than how much we cut. the media is very concerned with which party will win this fight politically. i'm much more concerned with making sure the american people don't lose out in this program that we're doing. we have to make sure that the cuts are those that don't really damage the basic fiber of our country. let me once again remind the senate, children, students, teachers, nurses and seniors would be significantly hurt by the cuts if the republicans passed h.r. 1. the tea party is here today. they are here demonstrating that h.r. 1 should be followed, mr. president, $100
